Abstract

The aim of the study was to reveal the Information Literacy (IL) concept and relationship between the concept of IL before and after the pandemic. Also, common keywords were examined. The period between 2016-11-01 and 2019-12-31 was considered as pre-pandemic, and between 2020-01-01 – 2022-11-26 as post-pandemic, in both groups. Trend analysis on the information literacy pre- and post-pandemic period was performed by VOSviewer software and in-app algorithms thereby visualizing Web of Science database on the related concept. The co-occurrence analysis of the keywords of articles conducted to reveal common concepts and the most associated concepts. After the bibliographic analysis of common keywords of the sample articles, 25 most common concepts before and after the pandemic were obtained and visualized. Some distinctive concepts before the pandemic were library instruction, collaboration, and students, while fake news, misinformation, and social media were observed in the post-pandemic period. Occurrences of the concepts in both periods were discussed within the scope of the related literature.
